wow, what a recap, RV! *claps*
(Yes, I'm a little behind, too ~ but I'm catching up) Trance leaping for joy when she tripped Tyr was so silly! And I completely agree with you that it's interesting how much of an interest Tyr has taken in Trance's education. I suppose it's a survival instinct, the better she is, the more likely is is to survive. But it's still interesting.

I don't see it odd at all that Tyr's still hanging around. After all, it's not like his mercenary life was leading to any great results. Here, at least, he may be offered an opportunity that he can take advantage of. Of course, my opinion is colored with having seen what's coming later down the line. Still, as I recall there were very few times I had much hope in Tyr. There were a few, granted, but it was always suspiciously for the betterment of Tyr.

In the meantime, I'm spamming the last 4 episode threads with icons. Trance doesn't call anyone a nut job in this episode, but she sure thought the guy refusing the nanobots was crazy. Now we all know it was part of his nefarious plan, but her expression still says "you're a nut job" to me.

How I feel at any given moment changes my awareness. I didn't really know what to say about this episode, aside from enjoying Trance's "He haw" and "Hi ho".

I liked Ascendant Angel's post. That is the kind of attention that an episode deserves. It touched on details, some of which I remember from my first impressions. I think if I just felt differently while I was re-watching the episode I would have been aware of more of those details.

It was a good point about how Rev Bem is shown to have his own agenda in this episode.

Trance training-by-Tyr is still one of my favorite Trance scenes in season 1.

Glad to see you're still re-watching! Since I have yet to start in on season 2, you're sure to catch up with me shortly.
